The film is ‘shown’ in the dark. But the cinema has shrunk somewhat – only two hands fit inside it. To see (i.e. feel, touch) the film, the viewer (user) has to stretch his hands through the entrance to the cinema. Tap and Touch Cinema is an example of how re-interpretation can activate the public. Extract fom the documentary "Wiener Underground"
